Defining a News Feed Category

Instances of the Braze News Feed can be configured to only receive cards from a certain “category”. This allows for effective integration of multiple News Feed streams within a single application. For more information on this feature see more in our News Feed best practices

News Feed Categories can be defined by calling the following methods as you load the News Feed:

1
2
3
4
5
6
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.ALL_CATEGORIES);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.ADVERTISING);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.ANNOUNCEMENTS);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.NEWS);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.SOCIAL);
newsFeed.setCategories(CardCategory.NO_CATEGORY);

You can also populate a feed with a combination of categories as in the following example:

1
newsFeed.setCategories:EnumSet.of(CardCategory.ANNOUNCEMENTS, CardCategory.NEWS);
